I'm trying to make my first server (Immich + Navidrome + Nextcloud running on Debian, will use WireguardVPN for remote access), but my crappy XFinity router (XB7) just won't port forward at all to my server machine. I've tried so many things to make it work, so the best thing I can do now is buy my own router so that I can just use the Xfinity router as a bridge. Do you guys have recommendations for a secure, customizable enough, and long-distance router good for 6 people?

keep in mind it may not be your router's fault you can't accept incoming connections, you may be behind cgnat. if you are, you need a reverse proxy like cloudflare tunnels

Cloudflare tunnels is more than just a reverse proxy, but agreed. That might be the better option regardless. If you're Cloudflare-averse, you can use Tailscale funnels, or spin up your own rproxy+tunnel solution (there are plenty out there, such as Rathole, Zrok, or frp).

I think rathole is unmaintained. It hasn't been updated in forever and basic features like proxy protocol are just sitting there waiting for a new release to make them available. I ended up replacing rathole with gost and I actually like it better. I can run an identical setup to rathole with straightforward command line parameters instead of a config file (though a config file can also be used).

I am behind cgnat and my fritzbox buildin wireguard allows me to connect to my home network from outside.
